The fact that the London market was closed to-day was an additional incentive to ab- senteeism on the part of the Stock Ex- change members. The drift of prices was sluggish throughout. The Pacific stocks especially receded from thelr re- cent prominence in the market. Peo- ple’s Gas suffered from profit tak- ing, and was a depressing influence on the general list. The Weather Bureau's crop bulletin and the weekly-reviews of the commercial agencies were not suffi- clently cheerful to induce any buying of stocks, but there was no urgent pressure to sell. The bank statement revealed the large transactions which have been going on in the money mar- ket, but the maintenance last week of the full surplus by the offsetting of other items, and the extreme ease now ruling In the money market pre- vented any anxiety over the banking situation. The cash items reflected the receipt of Covernment deposits from interior banks coming over from iast week's operations. The Govern- ment deposits included in the deposit item amount to $56,107,400, compared with $45,948,100 last week. The expan- | sion of n 5,000,000 in the loan item is considered corroborative of the rum rge loans contracted dur- ing the week in connection with stock market operations. Yesterday's pay- men of subscriptions to the $50,000,000 Pennsylvania issue probably figures in this item also. The market closed easy on a late gelling movement. tal sales of bonds were (par value) of 1 PRICES ARE IRREGULAR. Prices of stocks have moved in an v during the week, with reactions, but the undertone Strong, and there has been a nside ble broadening of interest in the market The principal market in- fluence was the diesolution of the Northern Securities Company and its supposed consequences, but it is prob- le that- a revival of speculation have occurred anyhow as an outcome of the factors usually oper- ative in the spring of the year, when the outlook for future business natural- ly begins to take form and money con- ditions at the reserve centers are likely to afford facilities for speculative op- erations The volume and the character of the transactions in the great Pacific and transcontinental railroad stocks give ample warrant for the prevalent as- sumption that important operations are working out in that fleld designed to establish financial policles on the part of the great forces of railroad capital. What the policies are have not been established, and conjecture on tlLe subject has afforded ample material for speculation and the flotation of rumors to further it, which have va- ried constantly and almost from day to day. It is manifest that many of these rumors have had their origin from a traversal of the history of the events leading up to the formation of the Northern Securities Company and the projects which were afterward dis- d to meet the conditions of the merger. UNION PACIFIC IN DEMAND. Feeling has crystallized in Wall street that the dissolution of the Northern Securities Company has the effect of re-establishing the conditions of the Northern Pacific settlement as they before the formation of the n Securities Company. It will remembered that a compromise board of directors has been named by J. P. Morgan for the Northern Pacific, which included Union sentatives and effected an actual com- munity of interests in that company. cus: GRAPE-NUTS. SATISFIED The Surgeon’s Assistant in a Danger- ous Case, The surgeon who is attending a dangerous case praises the food that helped his little patient. h y child, a story marvelous indeed, which seems almost incredible, but which is an absolute fact. “Two years ago in March my little four-year-old daughter was stricken down with Tuberculosis of the right hip joint. We put her in charge of a specialist for treatment. He told us that our only hope of saving her hip and perhaps her life in addition to his surgical treatment was to build up her system with good nourishing food to make good rich blood, bone, muscle and fat, which in time would | cure the disease by absorption. | “This sounded easy, but proved a | difficult case to treat, as there were so many foods recommended that did not agree with her or that she did not like and therefore would not eat. “For a year and a half she barely held her own until Grape-Nuts was tried, which she liked from the first, | and in two months gained two pounds in weight where during the 18 months proceeding she had lost weight. “Now notwithstanding she is also just recovering from a severe attack of the whooping cough, which she | has had for the last three months, she | has gained steadily in weight, is grow- ing nicely and her entire recovery is promising and hopeful and we are confident of complete success. “Our surgeon is delighted with the { rapid improvement she is making and | both he and ourselves are more than thankful that we tried Grape.Nuts.” The writer of this letter is the Pas- tor of a church at Warrensville, Ohio. | Name given by Postum Co., Battle | Creek, Mich. | Thousands of physicians now pre- ! seribe Grape-Nuts food in all cases where strength is expected from food. “There’s a reason.” Look in each pkg. for the famous little book, “The Road to Wellville.” ave a story to tell about what | pe-Nuts did and is still doing for | - IRE SLUGEISH Folding Bed—Golden finish, ‘Carpets The new spring designs are excep- tionally beautiful.

Price But the embarrassment of the enor- mous tie-up of capital for maintaining the holdings of the various interests in the company prompted the holding company for the purpose of allowing the release of some of the capital in- volved without relinquishment of con- trol. This is accepted as a demonstra- tion of a way out for actual commu- nity of interest without conflicting | with the Supreme Court decision. The Pacific repre- | present speculation seems based upon the assumption that with a way open for securing community of interest in | the railroad world there will be a re-| newal of the projects which were nipped in the bud by the judicial dis- approval of the Securities Company. The one substantial basis for the as- sumption that such policies are work- ing out is the continued large absorp- tion of Union Pacific stock. There was a time when transactions in as large volume as those recently made in Un- | ion Pacific might have been plausibly set down to a purely speculative cam- paign, but that was when a broad, gen- eral limit for stocks could be relied | upon for quick absorption of specula- tive holdings. MOTIVE POWER OF MARKET. In the present torpid state of the public demand for stocks the supposi- tion of speculative operations seems inadequate. The conviction is there- fore general that there has been an important accumulation of Union Pa- | cific stock for some other than the speculative purpose of reselling at an advance. Last week’s surmise that Morgan-Hill interests were taking the stock to balance the Harriman-Kuhn- Loeb holdings in Northern Pacific and Great Northern was supplemented this week by circumstantial assertions that St. Paul and Standard Oil interests were acquiring Union Pacific control to assure a Pacific Coast outlet for St. Paul. The necessity of ‘such an outlet was admitted by St. Paul at the time of the purchase of the Burlington, and steps toward that end were taken at the time. It would be useless to sum up all the rumors and assertions of the weck that ingenuity and specula- tion have prompted on this basis. This has been the motive power of the mar- ket. Its effectiveness has been fos- tered by some encouraging factors in the general conditigns. Money is abun- dant anl rates have declined. The transfer of Government deposits to New York in preparation for the Pan- ama canal payments has increased the supply in the market. The expected outflow of gold was delayed. Railroad earnings have made a somewhat bet- ter comparison with last year. Cheer- ful reports come from the coal trade, and an active demand is reported for copper. Improving conditions show in the iron and steel trade, but the pros- pect of a poor quarterly report by the United States Steel Corporation and doubts over the maintenance of the preferred dividend have modified that influence. The crop outlook continues uncertain, but is not yet a dominant influenc Bonds have moved irregularly on a moderate volume of business. United States 2s, old 4s, new 4s coupon and 3s registered have advanced % and the 2s coupon % per cent on call during the week. S, ACCUMULATION OF FUNDS. Cash in Bank Vaults Surpasses Any Total Previously Recorded. NEW YORK, April 2.—The Fi- nancier says: An expansion of nearly | $15,000,000 in loans and of more than $20,000,000 in deposits, accompanied by a gain of over $5,000,000 in cash, were the principal features of the bank statement last week. Both loans and deposits make new high records and the cash in bank vaults surpasses any total previously recorded. The .accumulation of funds was greatly in excess of the amount of increase as estimated from the traceable move- ments of money during the week, in- dicating large unreported receipts. The expansion of loans resulted partly from the placing of fifty millions of the Pennsylvania notes, which was ef- fected on Friday. The public de- posits were increased $15,618,700 dur- ing the fortnight, caused by the con- centration of these funds in New York | depositories, The cash reserve was increased $5,461,400 and the required reserve, resulting from the increase of $20,700,900 deposits. was augment- ed by $5,140,225, deducting which sum from the gain in cash leaves $286,175 as the increase in surplus re- | ease. serve to $27,755,150, Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of $56,109,400 public funds, the surplus is $41,781,900. Loans were increased $14,843,400. —_————————— Society Young Ladies to Sing.
